Dayum! I had the SAME experience, almost.
I tried to install SunOS5.6 on a very very early sparc
chip, and boy, was it reluctant to work.
Fortunately, the vendor had TOTAL CONTROL over the hardware
and software, so in addition to charging something like
a 10x premium for its software, it could fix the problem
internally.
Yea. Uh huh.
I got yer "dot in dot.com" right here....

fwiw, a "real world" anecdote:
What we have been finding out in the middle of a nightmare
LAN upgrade is that old p1/233 (originally win95) machines
start croaking like a pond full of horny bullfrogs when new
software (win98) is installed.
Amazingly, when we buy new hardware (pIII/700mhz), things
work a *lot* better.
Next year's great adventure will be installing "whistler".
I can't wait (sarcasm).
